It was just a matter of time! The radar nose is included in the other two kit releases, so I figured the sub hunter would be on the way eventually. For those that don't know, the B18 was the first US service aircraft to sink a U-Boat, going on to sink another and damage several others. It also sank one in Canadian service. It was the most numerous Bomber aircraft in the US inventory at the start of WWII. It actually beat out the B-17 in the 1933 Bomber competition. I am a little surprised at the marking options though, since the sub-hunter version had some wild and interesting camouflage patterns, these are a little tame.
